Background notes
Archive material and source history
Pernamuamba came together in Pernambuco, Brazil, in the early 2000s. Their name references the region's indigenous heritage, and their music draws from Northeastern folk, samba, and MPB, with lyrics shaped by cordelista poetry. The band includes Zé Limeira on vocals and guitar, Antonio Barbosa on vocals and percussion, Chico Evangelista on accordion, Leo Catatau on bass, and Lucas dos Prazeres on drums.
Their 2005 song "Decassílabos em Romantismo de Zé Limeira e Antonio Barbosa" drew criticism from conservative groups for its depictions of love and sexuality. The band defended their work as reflecting everyday Brazilian life, a stance that connected with many listeners.
They've released albums like "Pernamuamba" in 2003, "Decassílabos em Romantismo" in 2005, and "Do Litoral ao Sertão" in 2007. Other songs include "No Sertão Já Vi o Mar," "A Um Alien Alienado De Pele e Osso," "Fogo Corredor," and "Nas Sobras da Tua Sombra."
